So we stayed here for 6 nights. The apartment is everything that Tony describes. It’s clean, well equipped and in a fantastic location which is nice and quiet. Just a 10 minute walk to the BTS sky train.
The gym is very well set out and equipped and unusually for Thailand the air - con was very good. The swimming pool was lovely and had amazing views. The water doesn’t really get the sun so it’s a little cold when you first get in.
The only downside of this whole rental was gaining access to the lift area. This has recently been changed to only allow access to residents and they positively discourage short time rentals like Airbnb. So you have to stand and wait for a resident to let you gain access to the lift lobby. It’s just the same on your way down you get to the ground floor and have to wait for a resident to come and use the lifts so you can get out of the lift lobby. The access is by biometric fingerprints so there is no way round it. We had to wait each time not usually too long but a wait never the less.
So a great apartment with quite a big downside. I hope they manage to come to a compromise otherwise it will discourage renters like ourselves.
